with those majors LSU will be your best bet as they offer all of them. their landscape architecture program consistently ranks among the top in the country. their new engineering building is stunning. and you will get it for under 20K per year if your child has an ACT of 28, as TOPS would pay for tuition.

LA Tech is pretty reputable for engineering but if you are from southern LA, location might be an issue.

Louisiana Lafayette’s engineering might be focused mainly on petroleum engineering.

I think the name recognition of the smaller LACs you list are probably pretty regional, Millsaps will be known in MS, LA, AL. Birmingham-Southern in AL, MS, GA and Berry in GA, AL, NC. I live in Louisiana and Millsaps is well known in my area but if I started asking about Birmingham-Southern, Samford or Berry around here, I would get blank stares. But I would argue anyway that Louisiana does not have a LAC culture, people here only know their SEC schools and state schools.
